Scalp micro pigmentation

Q: I am looking to seek a ruling on whether scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) is permissible in Islam. SMP stands for scalp micro pigmentation.

It is a method of depositing pigment into the dermal layer of the skin on the scalp, which replicates hair follicles. When viewed from a few inches or further away, the pigment dots appear as hair follicles. Here are some facts provided by a number of SMP clinics I inquired with:

SMP will have no effect on the ability for the skin to absorb water (i.e. for wudhu) or release water as sweat. The pigment consists of Iron Oxide, which according to the clinics is readily present in the body naturally The main difference between a tattoo and SMP is that SMP is semi-permanent and uses a completely natural pigment. It uses specialist pigments created for the scalp only, not tattoo ink.

Hallucination

Q: People hallucinate especially people with mental issues. They can be extremely happy compared to messianic visions. People even befriend characters that represent typical images for prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) or Isa (Alaihis Salaam). What is Islam's view on this? 

Cupping

Q: I would like to ask what are the best days for having hijama (cupping) done and if there are any days on which hijama (cupping) should be prevented or is prohibited.

Using binaural beats for health issues

Q: My question is, can binaural beats be used by a Muslim if he/she just wants to do self help for getting rid of any kind of disease, skin problems, hair issues, obesity, depression, anxiety etc. Though he/she got exhausted by visiting so many doctors again and again and also used home remedies for getting rid of their health issues but nothing positively happend... If he/she just only considers that all the benefits will come from Almighty Allah if I use binaural beats to make my health and appearance better... Nothing and no one has power to grant the benefits and goodness but only Allah Almighty...
